G C D

[Verse]
G
Well I don't care about my sorrows
              C             G
And I don't care about my woes
            G
I put my knees down in the sand
       D                G
Down where that river flows
            G
I put my hands in the water
         C               G
Up to my elbows in the cold
           G
I let it wash my dirty face
        D                   G
Let it cleanse my troubled soul
          G
Well, my name is Hub Cale
         C                  G
And my home is where ever I lay
            G
And I was born to ride the rails
          D                   G
Ride the rails ’til judgement day

[Pre Chorus]
    C                     G
My face is wrinkled and weary
     G                 D
And rough as railroad tie
               G
And when that train come rumblin' through this town
   D                 G
I lift my jug to the sky

[Chorus]

N.C.
Well I lift my my Jug to the sky oh lord
         D                  G
Well, I lift my jug to the sky
                G
And when that number 9 come rollin' by
   D                  G
I lift my jug to the sky

[Verse]
G
For I was an engineer
           C                 G
I made my livin' shovelin' coal
          G
Paid my dues for 12 long years
          D             G
Then one day they let me go
           G
And that time it sure was rough
         C                   G
And the labor sure took its toll
         G
For my lungs are as black
        D               G
As the feathers of the crow

[Pre Chorus]

       C                    G
Now I lay underneath the trestle
         G               D
With my jug of homemade rye
               G
And when that train come rumblin' through this town
   D                  G
I lift it up to the sky

[Chorus]

N.C.
Well I lift my my Jug to the sky oh lord
          D                 G
Well, I lift my jug to the sky
                 G
And when that number 9 come rollin' by
   D                  G
I lift my jug to the sky

[Outro]

G
Well I don't care about my sorrows
              C            G
And I don't care about my woes
          G
I put my knees down in the sand
      D                 G
Down where that river flows
      D                 G
Down where that river flows
           D               G
Oh Down where that river flows
